Psalms 9:15

9:15 The nations fell into the pit they had made;

their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.

Psalms 31:4

31:4 You will free me from the net they hid for me,

for you are my place of refuge.


tn Heb “sank down.”

sn The hostility of the nations against God’s people is their downfall, for it prompts God to intervene and destroy them. See also Ps 7:15-16.

tn Heb “bring me out.” The translation assumes that the imperfect verbal form expresses the psalmist’s confidence about the future. Another option is to take the form as expressing a prayer, “free me.”
